Youth Empowerment Collective

Welcome to the Youth Empowerment Collective, where we champion unity and empowerment for young people through the transformative power of social-emotional learning.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower youth with love, joy, and celebration.

Together, we will create a world where every young person feels seen, valued, and empowered to embrace their true selves.

Join us in imagining a Canada where every young person feels a deep sense of belonging through love, community, and joy.

Welcome To Our Grassroots Movement!

Our Story

Youth Empowerment Day: Get Ready for the Youth Empowerment Book!

Our movement was born from Francesca's deep-seated desire to make a difference in the lives of young individuals. Reflecting on her own journey and the challenges she faced growing up, she realized the immense importance of those who showed her kindness and acceptance. They were her unexpected heroes, guiding her through dark times.

The certification program is still in development as we use scientific research to ensure it is the best version it can be. However we did not want to miss the opportunity, on our inaugural Youth Empowerment Day, to honour Oxford Learning, Bradford, who inspired this very certification program and embodies the heart of everything The Youth Empowerment Collective strives for.
